Wood Pellets

Wood pellets are becoming increasingly popular as a source of heat for homes.
They can be used in both stoves and boilers in order to provide an inexpensive and renewable source of energy.
Wood pellets are formed from sawdust that has been diverted from landfills and which is then compressed into pellets that are extremely dry and which burn very cleanly.

There are many advantages to the use of wood pellets in both stoves and boilers.

They include:

• High density meaning more energy can be gained from each pellet.
  This means that fewer pellets need to be delivered to get the same amount of energy that other sources would provide.
• CO2 neutral, meaning that wood pellet systems are not subject to the CO2 tax.
  Wood pellets release only as much CO2 as a tree would release as it decomposes naturally.
• Easy to store.
  The pellets are dry and do not degrade as they are being stored.
  They are also uniform in size and shape making them consistent in terms of energy delivery.
• Easy to handle.
  The pellets are small and will flow through automatic feed machines with less need to handle them than other fuel systems.

Wood pellets can be sourced locally and are produced in Ireland.
This means that not only are you getting an affordable source of energy for your home you are also supporting and strengthening the economy.
Because wood pellets come from a reliable source of energy there is no chance of a sudden spike in fuel costs like there can be with coal, oil or natural gas.

Maintaining Your System

Wood pellet systems are very easy for you to clean and maintain.
Many boilers and stoves are self cleaning and produce very little ash.
This ash can then be recycled into an excellent fertilizer for gardens and is collected in a convenient tray that is part of your wood pellet system.
Other wood pellet systems are self-feeding meaning that the pellets move their way through the machine with no effort on your part.
